Ever wondered if you’re the only one still trying to figure it all out—even after trying “all the things?”
I promise you’re not the only one, in fact the podcast have almost half a million downloads to prove otherwise. You’re in good company of people looking for a new way of understanding and healing their anxiety & depression.
This week marks the 100th episode of Regulate & Rewire, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate what this podcast has become—a space for honest conversations, accessible nervous system education, and tangible tools for people navigating real-life healing.
What We Cover in This Episode
- Amanda’s behind-the-scenes origin story for the podcast (and why she started it without even listening to podcasts herself)
- The top five most downloaded episodes (and what they reveal about what resonates most)
- Why repetition in healing isn’t just helpful—it’s essential
- What’s next for the podcast (and how you can be part of it)
Why 100 Episodes Matters (and What It’s Really About)
Creating a podcast wasn’t always in the plan—but when Amanda got tired of the 60-second social media limit, she turned to something longer-form. From a mic in her basement to almost half a million downloads, Regulate & Rewire grew out of a desire to educate, freely and accessibly.
But this episode isn’t just a personal milestone. It’s a reflection of you—the listeners, the therapists who recommend it, the friends who send it, the people who find it and finally feel understood. You made this milestone happen.
The Top 5 Most Downloaded Episodes
- Ep 49: How to Come Out of a Shutdown State (A surprise #1, this episode doubles the downloads of others. It addresses something we don’t talk about enough: somatic support for shutdown and depression, not just anxiety.)
- Ep 2: Understanding Anxiety & Depression Through a Nervous System Lens
- Ep 8: How to Build Nervous System Regulation Into Your Daily Life
- Ep 4: Anxiety Through a Nervous System Lens
- Ep 7: How to Stop Overthinking
If you’re new here, these are incredible places to start. If you’ve been around for a while, they’re worth a re-listen. And again, whether a new listener or someone who’s tuned in since the beginning you’ll also want to hit play on what’s coming over the next couple months.
Repetition Is How We Learn (and Heal)
Healing isn’t about constant novelty. It’s about integration—and that takes repetition. In the coming weeks, Amanda is revisiting the foundational concepts that make up her approach at Regulated Living. The foundational concepts for understanding, working with, and healing anxiety and depression through a nervous system lens. Even if you’ve been listening since the beginning these episode are worth tuning in to because:
- You’re in a different place now than when you first heard these concepts
- Concepts click more deeply the second (or fifth) time around
- Amanda is a better teacher now than she was two years ago—thanks to continued training, research, and thousands of client conversations
Whether you’re healing personally or supporting others, re-grounding in the basics can offer brand-new clarity.
Three Tangible Takeaways
- Healing isn’t linear—but repetition helps. Don’t be afraid to revisit the basics. It doesn’t mean you’re behind; it means you’re integrating.
- Your symptoms make sense. Understanding your physiology and psychology through a nervous system lens isn’t just informative—it’s hopeful.
- This podcast is here for you. It’s not behind a paywall. It’s not ad-sponsored. It’s a labor of love designed to support you, for free, every single week.
